Uh... I got nuthin.

Here, take these stupid random sketches of trans bros:

[itsavee4117]

Alt. Bros

Headcanon time (for once)!

It's been a while since I made one of these self-indulgent headcanons (I think the last one was the artist headcaons...? I can't remember). Either way, this one is a little addition to the Alt. Bros Drawing I did earlier... and a chance to share some of my personal favorite songs. And... okay, I wanted to do something with emo Mario. Ya got me. Aaaaaaand I wanted to talk about them being in a band together, mayhaps... 👉👈

Anyhoo, with that outta the way, let us... begin:

(TW: mentions of dysphoria, bullying, toxic relationships (not gone into great detail, but still))

Roots (12-15)

Starting off, the bros went through an alternative phase starting at 12. In Mario's case, it stemmed from dysphoria (unknown to him) and personal rebellion against his dad, but Luigi's came from dysphoria and bullying from the girls at school. The two of them essentially wanted a break from everything, so they turned to things that they both liked. They didn't care if it was weird or whatever; they just wanted something to escape for a bit. And if it ran people off? Even better.

The two of them mainly found comfort in each other (as you'd expect). Mario was basically a ball of rage and hated being told how he should act, whether it was from teachers or his dad. Luigi, meanwhile, just wanted to disappear but still wanted somebody there. Thus, they mainly stuck with each other most days: buying band shirts and posters together (Mario loved Avril Lavigne, MCR, and Paramore; Lu loved Evanescence and Gorillaz), dying their hair (their mother got really mad at them for this), blasting Avril Lavigne until sunrise, and just confiding in each other about how they felt about... well... anything, really. As an example: L: L-Like... I don't r-r-really know wh-where I fit in... I-I'm not one of the girls, y-y'know? M: Ugh... yeah, same. I never wanna be those stupid prissy princess bullshit types.

In terms of style, the bros kind of just went with whatever was black and called it a day... at first. Eventually, they grew into their styles that fit them best. For Mario, that was grunge, and Luigi was soft goth.

On days where their dysphoria was particularly bad, the two would make a plan to sit by the window of their bedroom together or on the rooftop when it got dark. If it was raining, even better. They never talked about anything... they just preferred to exist together.

This was also about the time they got into their art a lot more (well... Mario did, at least). Mario, inspired by the many guitar riffs from his favorite songs, took to learning the guitar himself. He wasn't the best at it, but he didn't care. He just found it fun to do. Luigi, meanwhile, was still hesitant to even pick up a paintbrush or draw due to the bullying he'd faced. It was sad for Mario, but he didn't push him. After all, that's what they had agreed to do together: relax. Though, Luigi did start writing. A lot.

The Band (15-17)

One day, when they were 15, Mario had the bright idea of starting a band. At the time, Luigi was freshly out as trans, and he wanted to make something that made him happy as he was transitioning (and to see how much his voice changed over time lol). At first, Luigi wasn't too sure about it, being naturally shy and hating his voice. However, Mario reassured him that it'd just be the two of them. Mario would grab his guitar, and Luigi could sing... it'd be fun! Later on, that night, they did just that. Mario turned on one of their favorite songs... and they performed it together. Sure, they got noise complaints from their family and neighbors, but they didn't care. It was freeing!

From there, it took off. They found that performing (even if it was just for the pigeons) was quite the stress-reliever. When asked if they ever wanted to make it big, they declined; for them, they just wanted to keep it simple: two kids just wanting to have fun!

As happy as they were together, they did eventually have to move their shows out of the house (Mario got annoyed by their dad screaming at them to turn down their "metal" music). Thus, they threw their funds together and got themselves a storage unit just a few blocks away. It was a bit cramped and smelled of mildew, but they certainly made do.

As for what exact kind of music they played, it was mostly just covers of bands they already loved. Surprisingly, Luigi's voice was rather versatile (though he did have to change key once his T kicked into gear), and Mario could pretty much memorize any music sheet within mere seconds. The only thing they agreed not to perform was heavy metal (Luigi tried it and... hoo, poor guy couldn't speak for a week). However, on the rare occasion, Luigi would write a few songs just for fun. He says they're garbage now, but they both thought it was pretty good at the time. They would also record every session for the memories... all of it stored on a little camcorder Mario stole from Uncle Tony.

On the rare occasion, they would perform "live." This was usually them sneaking into dingy bars with fake ID's just to perform before they got caught (hey, I never said they weren't rebels at times!), or one of the fellow alt. kids at school asked them to perform at a party at the mere cost of $10. However, on one occasion, they decided to perform at the school prom. They played your usual stuff with the other bandmates they were paired with... and then Mario whipped this out:

Sadly, they only got a minute in before one of the teachers booted them off. All of them got detention for this little stunt, but they all just laughed it off (even Luigi, though he needed a minute). That day, they got two more members for their band: a drummer and a bassist!

From there, the band became more than just chronicling Luigi's transition (though it was still a major factor). For the bros, it was their way of just staying kids just a little bit longer and making friends who were actually nice to them. It did wonders for their health; Mario didn't feel quite as angry anymore, and Luigi even started drawing again (he made little posters of their band lol).

The Fall (18-19)

Sadly, as all things do, the band eventually began to dissipate. Most of it just came from everyone growing up and graduating high school. Their bassist even ended up going to college soon-after, which was sad, but the bros understood. They were also in the process of saving up money for other things (namely, Lu's top surgery 🏳️‍⚧️). As a result, the band mostly became part of the background. Not anything bad, it just happened that way. ... until the bros were 19.

The final nail in the coffin was when Luigi broke up with a... let's just say terrible individual. He was in the hospital for a bit, but he was mostly physically okay. Mentally... not so much. I won't say what happened exactly, but that break up is the reason Luigi avoids downtown Brooklyn, hates heavy metal, and even learned to use a gun.

Once things were calm, the bros agreed to put the band to rest one last time. Just as a little goodbye. Their last song was just between the two of them, one that Luigi wrote, himself. It was an emotional day for both of them, but they left the storage unit smiling. They kept everything from their band days, including those recordings. Nowadays, they keep their musical ventures to themselves, but they don't regret doing the band together. 🖤

Mar10 ❤️

Hey!! Happy Mar10 day everyone!!

I don't have the energy to draw anything at the moment, but I at least cranked out a little fic that I hope you'll enjoy. <3

I figured that, since I HC that Mario came out as, well, Mario on March 10th, this was the perfect kind of situation to write about today. ^^

Tags: @peaches2217 (I know things have been rough but I hope you're doing okay 🫂), @itsavee4117 @bberetd @vulpixfairy1985 @silenzahra @loud-kid2 @i-put-the-bi-in-nonbinary @cryptratfromrunescape @jadeandroses @akiiame-blog @kelbreyworshipper @jelly-fish-wishes @dooxliss @pinkcreamypeach @megamagimugi @lilsilly1 (and anyone else I may be forgetting-)

For all intents and purposes, Mario will be referred to with his deadname throughout most of this ficlet but I promise it’s for good reason-

“What about Alessandro?”

“N-No, you don’t—don’t look l-like an A-Alessand-dro.”

 Another name crossed off the list. Mariella had recently come out as transgender to his brother, Luigi, and now the pair were workshopping new names since they had a week off of school for spring break. He wanted something that was clearly masculine, but could also have a gender-neutral nickname in case he ever decided that he was maybe nonbinary rather than fully male.

“Okay, um…” He hummed in response, leaning against the chain handle of the swing he was sitting on as he idly swung his legs while he read the next names off the list.

“Luca?”

“That—That’s too close to m-me!” Luigi argued with a little chuckle.

Mariella shook his head at that comment. “Fine, fine. How about Romeo?”

“Th-Then we’d need to find a J-Juliette f-for you. I-I’m not—I’m not a g-great w-w-wingman.” Luigi replied, receiving a laugh from his brother.

“…Y-Y’know, you c-could always j-just use M-Mario.” Luigi then half-heartedly joked after a moment.

Mariella sat up a little straighter at that comment. “…Wait, that’s genius actually—” He blurted, quickly scribbling ‘Mario’ under the various crossed out names he had written in his mini notebook and circling it several times.

“Mario, I think that’s actually the one!!” Mario cheered, happily kicking his legs a little.

“W-Wait, I was just kid—kidding…” Luigi tried to explain.

“Nonono, that’s perfect! Mario Mario, that has a nice ring, don’t ‘cha think?” Mario replied, seeming happier than ever since he had first come out to his brother a couple weeks prior.

Luigi thought about it for a second, and yeah, actually, that sounded nice. Mario Mario and Luigi Mario? Now that sounded like a duo you wouldn’t want to mess with.

“Y-Yeah, actually!!” Luigi agreed with an excited nod.

“Alright, then that settles it!” Mario responded, happily closing his notebook and putting the pen and pad back in his hoodie’s pocket. “We can workshop my middle name later, I’m starving—” He then commented as he stood up.

“Fair, s-same here.” Luigi agreed as he carefully got off the swing he was sitting on. “Wh-What’re we th-thinking?”

“McDonald’s? That’s the closest and cheapest thing I can think of.”

“S-Sure!”

And with that, Luigi and his brother Mario headed off to take their lunch break, glad to at least have that part of the situation figured out now.

What are brothers for? (Fic request)

@chipjam Got somethin' for ya!

(Before we even get into this, I'm so sorry this took so long! I've had a lot going on recently, so I only now finished it even though I started it the day you requested it. I don't even remember how long ago you requested this-)

Honestly?? I never thought about doing that. I’ve never experienced EXTREME dysphoria, so I can only fulfill that to a certain extent, but hopefully this will suffice.

Since this takes place early(ish) on in Mario’s transition, Luigi has not figured out that she’s bigender yet. So, just to keep it accurate to the time, I will only be using he/him for her.

⚠️ On that note, this fic deals with gender dysphoria and transphobia, as well as self-deprecation. This is generally much angstier than usual.

Also, more tags for those who may be interested: @itsavee4117 @peaches2217 @silenzahra (Whenever you're ready, but this is a bit angstier than my usual stuff-) @bberetd @loud-kid2

@i-put-the-bi-in-nonbinary @akiiame-blog @/whoever else is interested-

Mario was sitting on the steps outside his parents’ apartment building, holding his knees to his chest as he cried for the first time since… probably since he was a child, repeatedly having tantrums over not being able to participate in the same things as his brother just because he was a girl. But even after coming out to them – granted, in the heat of a recent argument gone awry due to his mother’s reaction – he still didn’t feel happy. Understandably, he didn’t feel happy because his mother was incredibly upset about this realization, even threatening to kick him out if he wanted to keep going ‘that way’. That wasn’t how this was supposed to happen – this wasn’t supposed to happen at all. Weren’t parents supposed to love their kids unconditionally? What did he do wrong?

Just before he could get swallowed by his thoughts, his brother, Luigi, exited the apartment building in search of Mario. Once he noticed Mario, he carefully descended the concrete staircase and sat next to his brother in spite of how cold and wet the steps were now from the rain. “H-Hey…” He quietly greeted, putting a hand on his brother’s back.

Mario flinched as Luigi set his hand on his back, curling further into himself. Once he was relaxed, he made a small noise to greet Luigi back.

Luigi frowned a bit at that response, knowing Mario wasn’t feeling well. Honestly, he wouldn’t either if that was how his mother was going to react to her kid being anything but cisgender and straight. “Y-You okay, bro…?” He then asked, almost instinctively calling Mario ‘bro’ as a term of endearment.

Mario simply shook his head in response, letting out a slight hiccup as his tears finally slowed, likely because he simply had none left. “N-No…” He whimpered in response, slightly shaking his head.

Luigi paused for a moment, genuinely not knowing how to help in this situation. Normally this would be the other way around, with Mario comforting him. But now it was his turn, and it was only fair that he returned the favor. “…H-Hey, Ma d-doesn’t know what—what she’s t-talking about—”

“Of course she does…!” Mario responded, sitting up and facing his brother, his face wet with tears and his eyes red and blood shot. “Because mother knows best or whatever the fuck—” He continued, genuinely not caring about the fact that he cussed. “…I didn’t even want to have that argument, but what else was I supposed to do…!? I didn’t want her thinking I was doing drugs, but I didn’t think she was gonna threaten to kick me out just because I…!” He whimpered, his breath hitching as he simply curled in on himself again, not wanting his brother to see him cry.

“H-Hey, hey…!” Luigi responded, rubbing Mario’s back in an attempt to comfort him. “Mario…! Y-You know sh-she’s probably j-just over-re-reacting, she d-does that…!”

“Oh yeah? What about ‘You’re not going to be a man under my roof! If you want to keep doing that shit, you can get out!’ gives you that impression?” Mario snapped in response. Of course, seeing how Luigi flinched as Mario raised his voice, he immediately curled further in on himself, feeling bad for eliciting that kind of reaction. “…S-Sorry…” He muttered against his knees, before taking a shaky deep breath.

Luigi sighed a little bit at that, trying to calm himself down a bit after his brother’s outburst. “I-It’s ok—okay.” He replied. “I-I know it seems l-like i-it’s not, but—but I-I’ll be h-here for you…”

Mario glanced at Luigi as he sniffled, trying to calm himself down as tears continued stinging in his eyes. “Th-Thanks Lu…” He muttered, looking back down at the ground. Of course, looking that direction brought his chest into view – his stupid fat chest that he had to have because girls just had to be physically different – and made him sit up, looking straight forward so he didn’t have to remind himself of the horrid body he was born in.

Luigi, becoming a little startled by the sudden movement, removed his hand from Mario’s back and scooted an inch or two away from him, in case he was going to get up.

“I… I’m never going to be a man, am I…?” Mario quietly asked after a moment, resting his arms in his lap as he stared off at nothing. “I’m just gonna be stuck in this stupid body that I didn’t ask for and all I’m gonna get out of it is—” He continued rambling, clearly becoming more and more upset as he talked.

“Mario!” Luigi responded, cutting the other off as he placed his hand on Mario’s arm. “You’re always going to be a man—You always have been, even if nobody else saw it or knew about it.” He continued, talking a little slower than normal to hopefully decrease his stuttering for the moment. “E-Even if it takes—takes a while, you—you were and are Mario, and n-nobody can change that.”

Mario broke his gaze and looked over at Luigi with a sad smile, before suddenly jumping on him to hug him. “Thank you…!” He muttered against Luigi’s shoulder.

Luigi almost instinctively hugged Mario back, not even caring that they were both soaked from the rain at this point. “O-Of course…! Wh-What are b-brothers for?”

[itsavee4117]

I've actually always seen Mario as a transman, rather than Luigi. Not hating on Trans Luigi at all. I enjoy any "X character is trans" I can get.

Can't really blame ya there, lol. I'm right there with ya.

Even though I don't see Mario as a trans dude, I LOVE writing about him as one and reading others' hc's about him (same with Weegee). Whether it's just Mario, Luigi, or even both being trans, all three are equally just as good 💚❤️🏳️‍⚧️

The Baby Bros! ❤️💚

These are currently WIPs, but I do intend on finishing these. In the meantime, here's some progress!

Also yes that is Mario's deadname in the first picture, but y'all don't get to know it until these are done. :)
